Besides the problem about mirrors, Debian "offers the download" of some 
non-free packages through the 'debian.org' domain name [1].

  [1] http://packages.debian.org/etch/ia32-sun-java5-bin

Others problems could be the use of the bug track system by non-free, but I am 
not sure. The final webapp proposal will be checked by the FSF.

Karl, maybe could you propose a new version of such text?  Anyway, let this 
email list know if you disagree with the above statement.
